While you are on an archaeological dig in Egypt, you observe a scarab beetle of mass m lies on the rim of a uniform disk of mass 3.80m (3.8 times the mass of the beetle) that can rotate freely about its center like a merry-go-round. Initially, the beetle and disk rotate together with an angular velocity of 0.230 rad/s. Then the beetle walks halfway to the center of the disk. (a) what then is the angular velocity of the beetle-disk system?

While you are on an archaeological dig in Egypt, you observe a scarab beetle of mass m lies on the rim of a uniform disk of mass 3.80m (3.8 times the mass of the beetle) that can rotate freely about its center like a merry-go-round. Initially, the beetle and disk rotate together with an angular velocity of 0.230 rad/s. Then the beetle walks halfway to the center of the disk.

(a) what then is the angular velocity of the beetle-disk system?
